Good news. Really hope they don't appear in any MEA game. Given when the game is set it makes little sense for them to appear other than as fan service. Create new interesting AI's please. And please avoid the damn Pinnochio complex. ME2 Geth were the best. Was not a fan of ME3's "Geoffs." I think synthetics desiring to relate to organics, even particular organics of a certain species and people, is fine. I think the way it was often portrayed, was um... immature? Inadequate? Ignoring of previous philosophical and technological stances? Its stuff like that that fuels nightmare theories like ME3 all being a dream and the Reapers trying to nudge Shepard to accepting indoctrination or whatever. A wee bit too much 'Machines can be people! You can be like machines!', at least without Javik installed and integrated. |

Geth are cool, but I wouldn't really put them before any of the council races or krogan. I'm happy with what we have now. And I don't care much about quarians tbh. Yeah I put the Big 4 at the top too. I think they should really always be a big part of Mass Effect, with expanded lore in every title. Though I also think the series should feel free to transform over time - for example, a game where, I dunno, Turians are outcasts this time, or a game without an Asari squadmate, or a game which highly involves Salarian domination (even if integrated into a larger plot). Or split up the 'Council Races' so we no longer consider them as such. Or let us delve so deep into their histories that they get utterly transformed in meaning. Toss things up sometimes. MEA is OK, but only one game of 'lets keep this place unified, one with each Ark, all peaceful premise' is one I can handle. I put the Geth over Krogan, personally. I totally understand Bioware doing otherwise, of COURSE, but I like Geth and their potential more. I still sincerely wish to see a version or versions of Rannoch in the future. I still would love to see Geth play all sorts of roles in things. I would still love to see Geth with a more intriguing plotline than ever. It is problematic, at least for now, to use them. Sure. But I'm sure there's possibilities on what's up with them. Even, really, forgetting any of the crazier theories, a post-Destroy world can easily have people, not even Quarians, rebuild some form of what would be a new status of 'Geth'. Storytellers will storytell. The Rannoch arc is over. I don't want any main story to ever focus on the Quarian fight for their homeworld and lives or the Geth preservation of their consciousness and potential. But that doesn't mean that those concepts can't exist in some sense, and it doesn't mean that the Quarians and Geth are out of stories, or existence in any form. It just has to be done tastefully. Anything that significantly gives off the aura of making ME3 choices feel useless, should be avoided. I just don't equate that to 'Oh Geth were all wiped out by Quarians in ME3, no Geth may ever exist ever'. You made good points. What I like about Geth is, they are, just like Quarians, a bit isolated from other races. I don't want all races to be everywhere and easy to interact with. And I like your idea about races transforimng into dominant ones or outcasts. That would certainly spice things up. |

ME:A seems to lack everything I wished new ME game would have. Preach! Where are the Drell? Geth? Hanar? Quarians (yes, I know they were mentioned to be wanting to share a world with Turians but that still doesn't mean they're in the game)? Give us some happiness, devs! |

I'm bracing for Quarian involved DLC releasing this Summer or Fall. And Geth for then or the next game. And other 'minor' species for the next game. LE SIGH. |

Why would they be in the Andromeda galaxy?
I feel like we should be opening up the door for newer races and not constantly rehashing the milky way races.

Good, Geth are pretty intertwined with the story of the trilogy. Their story was pretty much finished and I don't see why they would even be apart of the AI. I know people like them, but seriously, let Bioware stretch those creative wings and give us some new races instead of clamoring for old ones that don't make sense story-wise.
You knew you were getting a new start to the series in a new galaxy. So everyone knew we wouldn't get every race back. I thought everyone knew the Geth were going to be left out once they mentioned the Arks leaving after ME2 but before ME3. Since all the Organic races were hostile to them.

Plot twist: SAM is a ~captured, heavily modified geth 'unit'. Similar to how the rogue VI became EDI. Dad's prototype SAM->add the geth unit->final form. "Pathfinder, would you like to hear some soothing quarian singing I found in my memory banks?"
